Caption Battle: Stage Magic Is Hard...

"It's that time again..."
"To watch more of CBC's brilliant show Being Erica online?"
"To figure out why The Beatles had such horrible sound equipment in Japan?"
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"

But first, last week's winners:

In third place, playing on something I never had to learn in school: wallpaperotaku!

I pledge allegiance, to the manga of the United Fans of Shoujo, and to the Bishounen, for which they stand, one genre under Japan, with love and beauty for all!

In second place, with the power of conviction: Ace!

Current count of Pat Benatar songs that would provide awesome captions for this image: 3 and rising.

And in the coveted first place, just baaaarely getting the crap past the radar... Wayward Warrior!

Curiously humorous given that it is posted on a site affectionately deemed "TheO."

Gotta say, lots and lots of good captions this week. Thanks guys! Moving on...

This week's screencap comes courtesy of Kitty K.O. and features the series Gintama. "On the left is Hijikata, on the right is Gin, and the old guy in the middle is... well an old guy." Got it? Good:

Caption Battle: Love Hurts...

"It's that time again..."
"To really just relax?"
"To do battle with THE AMAZING RANDO?!"
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"

But first, last week's winners:

In third place, riffing on the ad-things: red.alchemist!

Music used to be her anti-drug.

In second place, pretending that Japan is Soviet Russia: Calaya!

In some countries, zombies offer you their brains.

And in the coveted first place... because the podcasters liked it and since it was good enough to break my previous "don't do it" suggestion... Shinmarooooo!

Things got awkward in a hurry when Yui screwed up her grammar and told Azusa the cake was a "lay" ...

It's almost sad to think that K-On! Month is almost over... let's end it with a bang!

So once again, we trust in the fertile depths that is Des-bre-ko's Imageshack to bring a very special screencap... cosplay, Halloween, it's close enough... anyway, that's Mio in the maid suit. Have fun with it:

Caption Battle: Eat... Become One Of Us...

"It's that time again..."
"To make another pizza run?"
"To add an egg to get breakfast?"
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"

But first, last week's winners:

In third place, only because the podcasters deserve it a little: Shinmaru!

Ritsu and Mio still cannot believe Ichigo pronounced Desbreko's name correctly.

In second place, because anime will always go for the shortcut: darkeangel!

Ritsu: Got your nose!
Mio: No, I got your nose!
'Mugi: Wait... where ARE our noses?!

And in the coveted first place with just a very suave caption... DemonKingAtticus!

Survey says only 2 out of 3 friends will feel that the current situation is a dream.

Only two more caption battles to go before K-On! month comes to an end! And Halloween is coming up... what will that mean?!

This week's screencap actually comes from one I took as opposed to Des' - see, here at theOtaku.com, it's sometimes just worth doing things yourself when the opportunity arises. Anyway, left to right is 'Mugi, Yui, and Azusa (I know, new character. Crazy.).

Beyond that... yes, we are all aware that the cake is a lie - even people who have never heard of Valve Corporation know that the cake is a lie - mention that the cake is a lie at your own risk/expense/unoriginality/failure. Ahem... anyway:

Caption Battle: Cheeky Children...

"It's that time again..."
"To figure out what day Castle is on TV?"
"To work on our Uncharted 2 Platinum Trophies?"
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"

Runnin' late, so let's breeze through last week's winners:

In third place: Nehszriah!

Good thing this is K-On! If Yui was straight out of Lucky Star, we'd be subjected to an entire episode discussing the contents and omnomable-ness of whatever the frick she's eating.

In second place: batosai33!

Run run run, as fast as you can, you cant catch me, I'm the ginger head m...

And in the coveted first place (with a well done long caption(TM))... Sakaki Sakura!

How to know if you're OCD:

That little speck on the left side of her mouth just above her left hand...

See it? Is it bothering you? It is right? It's all you can see now. You don't even see the rest of the picture now do you? That little speck consumes your thoughts until it's all you can think about! You can no longer see the cute little girl eating a cookie, can you?! You can no longer think straight, can you?! You can no longer think of any captions for this picture, CAN YOU?! YES!!! LET THE HYPNOTIZING SPECK OF DOOM CONTROL YOU!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahaha...ha...ha...ha......

*ahem*

Now you know if you're OCD. Have a nice day!

Well done you guys... and seriously, who knew a weekend could go by so quickly, hey?

This week... again, K-On!, again via Desbreko. Left to right is Ritsu, Mio, and 'Mugi. Go!

Caption Battle: In Before Om Nom...

"It's that time again..."
"To Keep Holding On?"
"To Have a Nice Day?"
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"

But first, last week's winners:

In third place, in before the others: ChibiSasuke!

Konata would be proud.

In second place with a well-chosen 'net reference: wallpaperotaku!

Shun the non-believer! Shuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun--

And in the coveted first place, straight out of Chem class... red.alchemist!

Yui, Ritsu and Mio didn't wear their goggles. Now they don't need them.

One week down, many more to go... well done, guys.

So this week continues K-On! Month, once again comes from the annals of Desbreko's ImageShack account. Happy girl in the picture is Yui Hirasawa. Have at it:
